    How many acres do you own?

    We have 17 acres plus another two that the feds technically own around the reservoir but we take care of it, mow it and put the chickens on it occasionally. We have about five acres of non-forest land and the rest is a mix of 50 year old pines and somewhat older oak, walnut, tulip poplar and...

    Now I'm paranoid

    At least 5x. More like a hundred x for me. I’m old enough now to stop when I get “that feeling” and go to the house.

    Amazon rant...

    All our delivery people are pretty good. USPS is really spotty and we don't have an Amazon truck route here. Most Amazon trucks are independently-owned business, btw. Amazon Delivery Service Partner Program

    Portable Jump Starter

    Bought a Yesper based on Project Farm recommendation. About three weeks after purchase, I was headed to pick up a trailer and stopped for the night at a hotel. In the morning, the truck batteries were dead and the truck wouldn't even click. Called roadside assistance then Mrs. Woods...

    How Many Have More Than One Tractor?

    I have a Branson 4520R which is used for FEL work, blading the drive, filling garden beds, landscape raking and chipping branches. My Kubota BX2380 is mainly used for carrying the fuel cell and anything that needs to be hauled on a carry-all on the three point. The carry-all is usually loaded...

    Towing Mishap

    Bad deal, I'm sorry that this happened to you. You are near the tow capacity of your Tacoma, which you know. I'm not going to jump on you, you've had a bad enough few days without one more piling on. I am truly fortunate that I haven't had a similar accident in my 40+ years of driving...

    Titan Stump Bucket Sale - not so much

    I ordered my Titan land plane from Amazon to avoid this crap. What a bunch of nonsense.

    What is the most money you paid for service on your vehicle?

    In 2013, our 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid's battery gave out. We had approximately 80k on the car at that time. We were out of town at the time attending my eldest son's wedding with the car. We took it to the dealership and paid full freight (including freight) for a new battery installed. It...

    Real Estate agents/offers/financing ect

    If your mom is selling off bits and you want to buy land in your area, this sounds like a good avenue to pursue. If you agree to a price, it could be a win-win for everyone.

    Bleeding hydraulics

    Most hydraulic systems don't require bleeding. The air makes it back to the supply tank via the return line. Are you having trouble with your hydraulics?

    Real Estate agents/offers/financing ect

    I see. Sorry, I didn't read post #4 carefully enough. If you have 2 acres and want 5+ then there's not much to do except find a bigger place. Since your original question was regarding buyer's agents, I'll give my opinion on that. Ninety percent of what 90% of buyer's agents do these days...

    Real Estate agents/offers/financing ect

    As stated above, if you find a piece of land that you want to buy, I would talk to a real-estate lawyer instead of an agent. Generally speaking, with notable exceptions, real estate agents know how to sell new and pre-existing homes. If the land you find is listed with a real estate company...

    Pallet Fork / Trailer Mover

    I'd be more worried about tweaking my loader arms with uneven loading.
